THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF SCENES on the cutting room floor, but I've managed to come up with the third movie in my Grandson trilogy. This one, The Grandson Greets the Sandman, was just produced today, after many spells of intermittent filming. It seems to be the preference of the VIP actor to work sporadically, eschewing any kind of schedule. And this director-producer certainly caters to his every wish, feeling it quite a privilege simply to work with the little guy.



I've been spending many mornings with him as his mother attempts to piece cat naps together into long and restful sleep. Some days this exercise extends into the afternoon hours, and frequently the finished product is so tattered, one can only call it Dozing. Ironically, this very exercise is one at which the little VIP is more adept--asleep one minute, awake the next, then slumbering and waking and greeting Mr. Sandman at least a dozen times before he says, "Hey, make yourself at home, put your feet up and stay a while...(only until it's time to order up my next meal, of course!)"
